Marco and I headed over to the the Laurel / Snow falls segment of the Cumberland Trail. We hiked up Richland Creek and over the 50 foot bridge. Then we headed towards Snow Falls which is a good climb after the 150 foot bridge. We got some pics from the powerline overlook then did the ford of Morgan Creek. Checked out Snow falls and then went back to the dirt road and hiked out to the Buzzard Point Overlook. The dirt road does not have trail markers. From the overlook we headed back down to the Henderson Creek Campsite for the night.
We saw our first two day hikers while we were setting up camp and they were coming back by while we were collecting firewood. It was calling for 35 for a low, but we ended up with 24. We stayed warm around the campfire enjoying the full moon and stars.
The next morning we hiked up to Laurel Creek Falls and then continued the climb which does get steep going up the bluff, to Laurel Creek Campsite. We forded Laurel Creek and hiked out to the Overlooks. From Bryan Overlook there is a unnamed trail heading to two more overlooks past the four wheeler turnaround. After that we headed back to the car.
Another great hike on the Cumberland trail.
